The tubular structure is rarely applied in the design of bridges; is more suited to large roofs in sport or fair pavilions. Today we present difficult to establish a structure that shows an original example of the use of tubular lattice in the design of bridges. Most probably Jörg Schlaich embodies the archetype of structural designer. He and his team are the masterminds of the Nesenbach Valley Bridge, a hybrid work in functional, footbridge and roadbridge, and from the structural point of view: integral bridge, ie, jointless and bearingless, and composite deck with tubular metal frame.

Restoring the Broken Bridge is a special work, difficult to categorize or classify, it is a meeting point between history, architecture and engineering. Presents an unusual approach in the restoration of bridges, because instead of restoring the bridge to its previous state, has chosen to build a new and modern structure, which completes the remains of old bridge.

Ponte della Costituzione is the 4th bridge over Grand Canal of Venice. It was designed, involved in controversy, by Santiago Calatrava. Although it is difficult to ignore it, In Frame and Form we will try to put aside any criticism, especially the media-political one, and we will try to analyse the just the footbridge design. Calatrava's works, and especially bridges, usually have a high visual impact. However, This gateway is different from previous works. It is designed to stress without imposing, as it is located in an urban environment of high architectural and historical value. By place (Grand Canal) and opportunity (is the first bridge built in Venice for decades) this is a historic bridge that must endure as an example of architecture of his time; Probably that is the reason for the choice of Calatrava as a designer for this project, because like it or not want, This has changed the way architects design bridges.
